[Dan1980]

Has any one seen this movie yet which is based on the book by Stephenine Meyer? Is the movie any good?

[princealbertofb]

I can honestly say, NO. Sorry can't help.

Ive heard about it, its a sort of "body snatchers" thing. Looks okay actually.

What is it about? What genre?

It's Science Fiction. In the book/film it's about this aliens who take over people's bodies.

I loved this trailer:




More details of the contents:





It was much better than I was expecting, but then what I was expecting was so bad that it wasn't hard to do better than my expectations. :tongue:

All in all, this is more of a story of culture clashing and personal dramas, even forbidden "interracial" love and the like rather than your typical body snatcher movie with its unrelenting paranoia. I don't regret seeing it but I have no plans to ever see it again (or read the book, though that's based on the bad experience of having read Twilight turning me off of the author...)

Oh! And how can I not love the line, "Kiss me like you want to get slapped"?

I am not sure if its out on DVD yet but when it is I will buy it.
